Taylor has been around for eons. If you have any kitchen type
thermometers around, take a look at the manufacturer. Oven
thermometers, candy thermometers, deep fry, meat, whatever. Chances
are very good it was made by Taylor.

And yes, there are quite a few spice houses. World Spice comes to
mind. It has been mentioned here on rfc before.

You know there is a Penzeys open in Menlo Park now, don't you? I
think it is on Santa Cruz Avenue.
